DMI Awards Philips Design and Teague First Design Management Award
The Design Management Institute (DMI) is proud to announce the establishment of the DMI "Design Management Team of the Year" award.

This honor will be granted to design management teams that demonstrate exceptional business practice.

This year, the criterion is based on longevity in the field, coupled with relevancy of design work past and present.

The 2006 DMI Design Management Team of the Year was introduced at DMI's 31st International Design Management Conference in Manchester, Vermont.

The inaugural award was issued to two leaders in the industry who have succeeded in 80 years of practice: Philips Design and Teague.

Philips Design's CEO, Stefano Marzano stated, "Philips Design is honored and privileged to receive this recognition from DMI.

We are dedicated to furthering the cause of design in creating an attractive and sustainable quality of life, and passionate about developing and establishing design as a strategy for growth, innovation and new business development."

During the past 80 years, design at Philips has evolved from a styling exercise to a sophisticated, key driver of innovation.

With approximately 450 professionals at various locations covering Europe, Asia, and North America, Philips Design creates for Royal Philips Electronics, as well as other top global brands.
